The Ghost Walk of York

I may be new to this community but I am certainly not new to the paranormal!

Since Sunday I have been on holiday in York and on the first night I went with my family on the Ghost Walk of York. I found it great but some of the stories weren’t that great but one of the ones that I did like was about Harry Martindale. Here it’s is:

It’s is said that in 1953 a plumber named Harry Martindale was tasked with installing heating into the cellar of the treasurers house. As he was working he heard a distant horn but at first he shrugged it off until he heard it again but louder, he dropped his tools and walked over to where he heard it coming from. The next second he saw a phantom horse pulling a cart step through the wall followed by a whole legion of Roman soldiers pass through as well. When he had been interviewed later in his life he described them as being cut of at the knees. It wasn’t until after this event that he found out that their was a Roman road 15inches underground which explained why they were cut of at the legs. Since Harry’s sighting other people (staff and contractors) had seen the same thing.
